1) A common expression used in football (soccer) by commentators to say that the ball has hit the
frame of
the goal, so the player has come close, but not scored.
2) When you 'pull' someone (
1st base or higher) but you don't have sex with them.
Guy 1: Dude, I saw you making out with that hot chick at the bar, what happened to you last night?
Guy 2: I kept
hitting the woodwork mate. I was so close to
scoring, but she wasn't
up for it.
